Sorry, NOT IN FEBRUARY is the official answer. So at least at the beginning of march ...

What were the remaining cards yet to be spoiled?

Germany did get Onagers early.....

I have discovered something (Am not alone on this either.) The backside of the ship cardboard is off by a noticeable margin. This also appears to be on the Onager, though not as noticeable.

Let me assure you, this is not unusual.

FFG made a game with precision mechanics then laughed to themselves as they shipped it to some of the least precise fabricators in the world.

I'm not from Germany. And even if I was, that's not a consolation for a man who wants a Starhawk...

How do you know the weapons aren't slightly skewed to one side?

I don't suppose there is a convenient flow chart for when each card effect takes place?

Should be ready before tonight, then others (probably @Drasnighta) can point out 10 things that are incorrect/confusing, then I can PDF it.

We all contribute to the best of our ability. Dras just has a nack for rules interpretation. ;)

If anyone sees the Starhawk in an European store, *in stock* (not pre-order!), I'd appreciate if you post here.

I have checked everywhere I can here in the UK and have been told by multiple gaming stores that the absolute earliest they expect to see any stock is March and it might not arrive until April.

www.microconstuct.de says 10th March the english version will be available.

www.fantasywelt.de says german version will come in February.

Starhawks are made from the remains of Imperial Star Destroyers. I think we all know what this means; Rebel players in Europe haven't been killing enough Star Destroyers...

And Asmodee Germany says "not in February".

That's a fine kind of schedule: "New stuff will come! Not in February!"

At least it's a bit more specific than "not yet".

I wish my bosses were okay with me making maybe 25% of my deadlines for street release of a retail product! Over a course of years!

If I were really lucky I wouldn’t even have to offer any kind of explanations or apologies to the customers. Man, zero pressure dream job!

At least March in this part of the world as well I’ve been told for the Starhawk. I’ve got a friend who only plays rebels and the last ship he bought was in wave 6 due to restocking issues and lack of product.

UK calling. My preorder with Dark Star still showing Feb 28th.

In the mean time Imperial Flight Games have ensured that all my Imperial friends have been flying Onagers for weeks now.

If there are any FFG employees monitoring these boards, will someone please give some form of explanation why the whole of the UK is running out of Armada stock and not just lacking the Starhawk?

Poland is also largely out of stock. Plenty of frustrated people trying to buy squadron packs, ISDs, Arquitens.

Corona Virus? With regard to the Starhawk.

No way. The massive delay of Starhawk was triggered weeks before Coronavirus started spreading.

It'll be the excuse for everything else, though.

I mean, on that point, I had the Kickstarter for my Son's 7th Birthday Present get knocked back from June to September over it (due to Factory Shutdown, cleaning, and extended time retooling and restarting).

He's going to be Heartbroken.

At least Kickstarters give regular updates on things, even delays.....
